(Grindstone City Advertiser, 29 Mar 1877)
OLMSTED. On Friday evening of last week Mrs. Sally Kellogg, wife of Hiram Kellogg, living about one and one-half miles west of this village had an attack of apoplexy which resulted fatally on Sunday morning.
Mrs. Kellogg was seventy-four years old. She came to Ohio from Vermont with her husband forty-four years ago, and soon after they settled on the place where she has lived ever since. Had she lived until July they would have celebrated their golden wedding. She has always been a very active and industrious woman, doing her own spinning and weaving up to the time of her death, having left a piece of cloth in the loom which she had not had time to take out since she finished it. They have always kept a large number of cows and it has been a part of her labor to help milk them, in which occupation she had been engaged when she was attacked, having just finished milking five cows.
Thus have passed away with very little or no warning, two of our oldest settlers, who came here when the country was a wilderness, and have lived to see it blossom as the rose.
Inscription:
wife of Hiram Kellogg
Burial:
Butternut Ridge Cemetery
So is Hiram buried:
1 In the Kellogg section of the graves at Columbiana County... in an unmarked or poorly marked grave?
2 On the farm property that HIram left to George and Cyrus? ( and it was a sizable piece of land)
3 Or was his body quietly taken to another gravesite not yet mentioned?
As Hiram had no obituary published that has been found, yet. is it even possible there was no remains left to bury? Was there some kind of accident?
We have already taken one field trip to Hudson, Ohio, where we found one of their residents, Bradford Kellogg, moved to Sandy, Stark County, yet we have found no relation to Either David or Hiram of Sandy.
Our next field trip is going to be Stark County Historical Society, to see what clues we can find there.
